Un Noël saupoudré d'amour

I absolutely love all Christmas movies, and of course some are cheesy, but the bad acting in the first five minutes of this one made me turn it off! It was too cringey!

Well, chances are that if you, like I did, thought that this 2021 Christmas movie titled "Candy Coated Christmas" was going to be a generic run-of-the-mill Christmas movie, then you are right on the dot.

Yeah, this is one of those sappy, cheesy romantic Christmas movies that appeals to those hopelessly gone in a romantic notion. While for the rest of us, this was a semi-watchable, albeit insanely generic and predictable Christmas movie.

The storyline told in "Candy Coated Christmas", as written by Ellie Kanner, Joey Plager and Alex Yonks, was just one that was riding high on every single cheesy Christmas trope that exists out there. So if you enjoy the sappy romantic Christmas movies, then director Ellie Kanner delivers a movie that will appeal to you here.

I wasn't particularly impressed, nor entertained by what the writers delivered in "Candy Coated Christmas". In fact, I actually dozed off twice and was in dreamland twice throughout the course of the movie. I woke up with an unknown amount of minutes having passed, and had no problems catching up on the story.

The acting in the movie was adequate, I will say that much. I wasn't familiar with the cast here, except for John McCook. It was a shame that Jae Suh Park didn't have a larger role to play in the movie though.

"Candy Coated Christmas" is not a movie that I will recommend, especially not since there are far better Christmas movies out there, even in the sappy romantic end of the genre.

My rating of "Candy Coated Christmas" lands on a three out of ten stars.

I admitt , I liked it. Sure, a lot of cliches, not the best acting, the dusty recipe of Hallmark romance but few details are real nice and, for me, are the significant ones.

I liked the performance of ree Drummond as Bee, a sort of Santa in other films or a good witch. I liked the pink overcoat . Not last, I liked the fine job of Lee Garlington and Dia Frampton and John McCook.

The chemistry between Noah and Molly remains an enigma for me. Being only a man, not a surprise. The little town celebrating Christmas is a good point and the story of Christmas, each year in Hawaiii sounds reasonable. But the favorit aspect was the room of mother and the blanckets and the toys on shelf and the lights chain .

Sure, many mistakes, sins and errors. But, the last confession who must write for be more than indulgent with this film is simple and too personal : I love mint.

Gag-worthy in all respects. Pie-faced Ree Drummond, the phony "pioneer woman" from Food Network makes her "acting" debut in this wretched concoction that must be aimed at moribund residents in nursing homes who can't get out of the TV room. They don't deserve it.

This Was an Excellent Usual Christmas Story and that's Okay!

Essentially the plot is a spoiled rich girl loses it all and goes to a small town to make ends meet again and it's more than meets the eye as she interacts with the town and it's people.

Yes it's cliche, but their are some unique elements.

The main actress is good as is the main actor. They are fine. They actually gave the main actress some PHYSICAL comedy bits and one liners and that was pretty fun and unique. She was actually great at line delivery and the physical bits.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this. 10 out of 10 from me. It's a Christmas movie with likeable beautiful people as ALL MOVIES should be!
